Well, the Russian Burger King has no choice. They were told to close down, so they have to either do that or sell burgers with pickled beets or whatever on them.

The guy should just seize the business, change the name to “Russian Burger” and just continue to run it like before.
There is nothing Burger King or Biden can do about it.

In a war situation it seems reasonable to not allow companies acting like enemies of the state to repatriate assets. This situation seems somewhat different than when Venezuela does it and winds up wrecking their economy.

Oh yes they do.

They were told to close down, so they have to either do that or sell burgers with pickled beets or whatever on them.

Or they can continue running it as usual (like they do already), change the name and improve the menu. They've already ignored Burger King's diktats.

Russia is not Venezuela.
Russia is the first country to go to space, send a satellite to space, send a man to space etc and are the biggest exporters of wheat in the world right now.

Joe Shmoe in Russia has nothing to do with Putin’s policies , why hurt them by closing down their favorite fast food burger joint?

Because the mob of Twitter bluechecks is demanding it.

That is basically what I said. Russia’s seizure of assets seems reasonable…Venezuela’s was idiotic.

A group of Russians own 85% of the BK operations in Russia, do why is this even a discussion? Just put out a press release about this fact and be done with it.

“Well, that is because Kate Upton is with ME.”

Hmmmm....
Caite Upton likes her men EXTREMELY hairy. Like grizzly bear hairy. Like so hairy the guys turn most women off.
Either of you fit that description?

Don’t say that. We have many here who still think they are the backwards country from the Cold War. They might start jumping off of buildings if they found out otherwise.

15% tries to cancel 85%. Sounds like BK is Twitter.
